Humans are still the best and most cost effective way to get most menial labour tasks done that require the agent to be mobile. Immobile menial labour tasks will and mostly have already been replaced (driving trucks/assembly line/ect) but robotics won't catch up to the human body completely for a very long time.
Most highly educated "white collar" jobs are immobile and can be replaced with a specialized ai and the only robotics tech that is needed is available now.
Anything that requires processing or interpreting data and making decisions even if such tasks require 10 years of schooling are at significant risk. Doctors will be some of the first to go for example.
Some tasks that humans find difficult are relatively easy for computers while tasks humans find easy can be very very difficult for machines. From an engineering standpoint the problem of having a machine travel to an undisclosed location and retrieve an unspecified object is EXTREMELY difficult more so than successfully diagnosing an untreated illness that can baffle human doctors with decades of training and experience.
when people talk about the imminent automation revolution THAT is what they are talking about, not robots.
